If you turn the power off or select another Patch, Performance, or Rhythm Set after you have modified a Patch, Performance, or Rhythm Set settings, the modified data will be lost. If you wish to keep the data, store it into user memory.

Internal Write Protect

An Internal Write Protect setting is provided to prevent the settings in user memory from being overwritten accidentally.
